Program Description:
The purpose of DEA's Drug Diversion Control Program is to prevent, detect, and
investigate the diversion of controlled substances from legitimate channels while,
at the same time, ensuring that there is an adequate uninterrupted supply of chemicals
and pharmaceuticals to meet legitimate needs.

DEA's Drug Diversion Control
program has been delegated the responsibility for control of diversion, distribution,
manufacture, and abuse of legitimate pharmaceuticals. Pursuant to Public Law 102-395,
diversion control registration fees were increased to recover the entire cost
of the program, starting in 1994.
